Professor Meriem Laleg's research on modeling contaminant transport published in SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing

1 min read ·
A new algorithm is proposed to estimate the average velocity, dispersion coefficient, and differentiation order of a space-fractional advection-dispersion equation used for modeling contaminant transport in porous media. This allows for the characterization of the medium and the determination of the contaminant source. The algorithm is efficient, robust and fast.
